I keep reading about Basal Body temperatures, I bought a Basal Body themometer but it doesn't ever seem to change at all....

How long have you been at it, and when do you take the temp? 

Bier, thanks for the website! (And encouragement)

Good to know it's possible. Maybe you should send me some of that water you're drinking up there, huh? lol

And santonacci, I've been off the pill for about 14 days or so. (I know I'm jumping the gun somewhat)

I've been on cycle altering birth control almost all my adult life so I don't know what my cycle is. That makes it really hard to use my calendars. But I guess if I have to wait and plot for a few months, then so be it.

I take my temp as soon as my alarm goes off every morning. Before I even get out of bed. That's what I had heard was the best time.

I wasn't aware I was looking for such a minute change.

I'll look into the fertility monitors. I had thought about that, but was afraid to spend the money and it be a waste.

Thanks for the help ladies.

I make up more of a budet then number of gifts.

She's a little older now, (9) so she's not quite as demanding. I have her give me a list of the things she wants and buy the things that she wants the most and isn't just insane.

Santa always brings one big present a year. (A bike, The Wii, A new Scooter, etc) plus stocking stuffers.

Oh, and if you wanted to give him a giggle, I'd add in "Picnic of Love" from the Album "Picnic of Love" (Or about any other song on that album) by Anal ****

They are wonderful delicious! lol, I would add it to a mix for my hubby, he's a punk rock boy all the way

Oh, and oh, "Orgasm=Love" by Psychostick

Okay, I quit now. I'm sure you're grateful

I think you should give it a try, Berry Meth! ;D

 They're firing me anyway so what does it matter! lol

!! I'm sorry. :( It's a crappy time to be fired.
Still.. better to not burn your bridges. it's a small industry and word gets around.

 ah that is true

Thanks for helping me to see the adult side of the situation! heehee, I just wasn't quite there today

Oh cool club was removed, I didn't get to the good stuff yet, lol

Now I'm behind on topic because I was distracted.

Eh.  That thread was bad all-around.

 I'd bet stemming from his track record.

Gosh, I'm sleepy.

Think anyone will notice if I crawl under my desk and take a nap?

I'm here for only a few minutes.  Busy, BUSY day ahead of me.  Plus, I have to go this afternoon to get my teeth cleaned!  GAH!  I like the way my teeth feel afterward, but can't stand having it done.  Doh!

 eee I've got that at 8am tomorrow morning

Way too early for that nonsense

Berry Meth...
and now, new meth roll-ups. For the children! ;D

 I could imagine all sorts of flavors...and man the chores that would get done...

 For sure, I bet it would be good for weight loss too. If you don't mind losing your hair and teeth and that non important stuff that is.

Hello Berry Meth, welcome to Chat!

Um.. er..

... switch the first part.

 Isn't that that bad stuff they were selling to children?  mmmm berries

I haven't hear of it, but will look into it.

I also can not believe that it has been 10 years. It's one of those things that haunts the back of your mind like it was last week.

We had a similiar case here a few years back where the body of a local man was found in a lake stuffed into a suitcase. All because he was gay.

This has to stop.

 Little busy yesterday, didn't get to check in

today I am at 150.5! Woohoo!
Don't have my tape to measure but I'll do so next week

Splurged a little and had a few sodas, a piece of ice cream cake and a piece of pie, so I was a little worried.

 

 So I don't forget tomorrow.

149 even on the scales this morning!

Might have some water weight to log tomorrow if I remember to come back in as I am eating some pretty high sodium content right now. Argh

My child is typically more of a health nut than I am.

I have the sweet tooth and she'll be snacking on fresh brocolli and lecturing me on how it's bad...

That being said, I brought her up that way. She knows to put good things in her body and being raised without a high-fat/high sugar diet she just doesn't perfer those things.

Typically I lead by example and have the brocoli with her, but sometimes I have to indulge in that Little Debbie! lol

She does the same. On occassion she'll eat some "sugary" cereals but they are still fairly healthy in the nutrient and vitamins category.

Sure she quotes Tony the Tiger when he comes on TV but I really can't recall her ever asking for that brand. Coco Crispies and things like that maybe, but it's not an everyday.

I don't think that the cartoon characters have a bigger influence over daily life and parents teachings and examples.

I've taken a lot of online courses.

My favorites have been anything involving theology. tons of fun

I had a class last semester that I got to develop my own utopian society as a semester long project for a sociology couse, those are fun online.

Criminalogy was fun online as well.

Think about things that inspire discussion and debate and those are the best classes.

Creative Writing and English classes are fun too.

Most of your grade, or at least a lot are based on the forum discussions, so you want something that is going to inspire you to come back and talk about it!

Congratulations on your weight loss.

I am sorry that your husband is being a butthead.

Perhaps counseling (marriage or just for you) would be worth considering?

MOLLY

 I agree with Molly, maybe he doesn't seem to realize what it is doing to you? He could have had past history that makes him that way without really understanding the hurt it causes.

Random example, we don't give hugs in my family, we just never have not that there wasn't love but just not hugs. Now when someone goes to hug me it kind of freaks me out because I'm just not used to that sort of affection.

Maybe it could be something like that.

And of course, congrats on the weight loss! You've come so far already! I couldn't imagine doing it without a good support group! You must be very strong!
